Eyadtng Decision.

The Dauphin court has refused the pre-.
liminary injunction asked for by the state
TO restrain tho pooling agreement of the
s1oedA foreground upon which Judge
t.on places his decision is that prelim-
esary injunctions are only properly granted
10 prevent present irremediable injury,
and that in this case no need exists to in.
terpose the arm of the law until the final
nearing is had and the rights of the
parties are determined upon q full hearing
and investigation. Upon the face of it this
decision seems proper enough, as the state
can afford to wait for decision of the
questions it raises, until they can be fully
inquired into. The practices of the rail-
roads which it claims TO be unlawful, have
been for long time in existence, and
the public may suffer less by short con.
tinuance OF them than the railroads would
by their interruption and if they are only
to be temporarily interrupted, they may as
well be continued.
But the fact does not seem to be alto
gether as Judge SmontOn represe nts it.
The truth is, as we understand it, that
there was full inquiry and argument had
OF the matters at issue at the hearing Of the
preliminary injunction and the Dauphin
court has taken 50 long time TO render its
decision thereon that it must be presumed
to have given the matter very careful con.
sideratiOn, and to be as we'll equipped for
deliverance Of its opinion as it is likely to
pc after final hearing. There seems to
be no good reason for delay in its adjudi.
cation. And the fact probably is that no
hnal hearing will ever be reached at least
under this state administration. The pres
ent disposition of the cases is doubtless
thsh'burial, and is so designed to be. This
result Is not so disastrous now as it would
have been before the inter. state law killed
the pooling business. The wrongs of this
Kind that have been done will not be re-
dressed; but We are in no great danger Of
like wrongs in the future. The railroads
escape, but the people are free; without
thanks to the Pennsylvania judiciary.

The Shame Of the Republicans.

The Shame Of the Republicans.
Four days have gone by since the dis
covery Of the brazen election frauds in the
Sixth ward and no effort has been made
by the Republican party TO wipe out this
foul disgrace.
When before the primary election,
President John II. Lands wrote an ad.
dress to the Republican voters of Lancas.
ter county, he declared that the Republi.
can party cannot afford to allow Demo.
cratic methods to dictate Republican
nomination." and then falsely assumed
that the Bill Tweed methods in New Y ork
met with Democratic approval.
But Mr.. Lands knows that Bill Tweed
In all his brazen audacity and political
unscrupulousness never dared to attempt
such An open outrage on the ballot box a.
was successfully performed in the Sixth
ward. At least seventy. one ballots WERE
stolen from one of the candidates, and the
! Republican party by its official representa-
hves has condoned the crime.
Mr.. Lands knows that Bill Tweed was
driven from power by Democratic indigna.
tion, and that that illustrious Democrat
Samuel j. Tilden, led the movement
against him. II Tweed's methods were
Democratic, they were sternly repudiated d
BY the Democracy. Will Lancaster county
Republicanism rise to the same high plane
and scourge from its temple the money
changers who have made its name a by.
word and reproach?

IT, Wssesra pie isoa makers ass ~
portsd 70 hsvU determined, at . meeting
held IN Pittsbufg, TO notify The coke manu-.
factursrs that they win not bereafter pay
moro than tl.5O per ton for the coke, the
present price being eco. This result has
been reached in consequence OF the de-
pressed state Of pig iron prices, and be-
cause Of the fact that great many Western
furnaces are shut down now, on account Of
the coke strike, and nearly all will have to
shut down IL it continues. Why the
price Of pig iron falls, with the pros
pect of its suddenly decreased produc.
tion, is a conundrum, which Is proba.
bly, explained by the general belief
that there will he no such continued strike
as to put many furnaces out Of blast. II,
however, the pig iron makers demand a
heavy reduction in the price Of their coke
fuel, it is evident that there's no likelihood
Of an early resumption Of coke manufac.
ture. The coke workers are striking for
wages which the operators say they cannot
afford to give when getting e. per ton for
coke of course If they get but sl.5O per
ton they cannot pay their workmen their
present rate of wages to say nothing Of an
increase.
1t is possible, however, that the iron.
makers, in view of the dullness Of their
trade, are quite ready to bank their fur.
naces for awhile, and take the convenient
opportunity to strike for lower coke. If
the demand for pig iron continues slack
they will get it; but If their iron is wanted,
they will pay for their coke all that they
must. The demand for pig iron is not
likely to fall off very much. There will be
an immense consumption of iron in the fu.
ture. There is an immense production too
The logic Of the situation indicates lower
prices for raw material and fair prof,
for manufacture.

THE five civilizsd tribes OF the Indian

OF tribal ownership; among them there are

Monopoly OF Land by Indians.

senator Platt expressed surprise at the
monopoly of valuable land by Indians who
refuse to use it and persist in their savage
life, but he might have saved himself the
trouble OF visit to a reservation if this in.
formation is all that he has gained. Making
use OF sources of information that were
easily within the reach of the senator, the
washington correspondent of the New
York Herald furnishes facts that will con.
siderably increase the surprise of those who
have not given attention to the matter.
"The Iowas, numbering 81 people, hold 22s,.
as acres, most Of which they have leased

Kickapoos number 2iO people; they hold
zoo, ,466 acres. The Quawpaws number SO

Secretary Lamar Does Not Take such . Very
Rosy View oiIt
From the Baltimore sun
The representations OF general prosperity
throughout the South put forth by q few
journals controlled in the protectionist
interest, by speculators In mining lands and
town sites, and by others eager TO sell some
thing, are not in accord with the i'm pressions
OF Secretary Lamar as presented in an inter.
view recently published in the New York
Mail and Express There are indications OF
prosperity, Gays the secretary, at q few points
but it is not general, and where 1t appears IL
IL at the expense Of the interlying country.
Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville, Knoxville
Birmingham, and other centres are growing
rapidly Ia population and apparently in
wealth. Towns situlted upon the new rail.
roads built during the last few years are
larger And more thriving, but their
growth, the secretary thinks, has been
largely at The expense Of other towns, dis.
tsnt from the railroads., which have stood
still or have actually ydsteriorsted. A stranger
paasing through the South on the rail wsys
errOneously concludes, he says, from what
IL going on within bis view from the car
window, and that the South is making yerv
rapid progress. He is not aware that the
new stores in sight at way stations, or in
towns and villages traversed by the railroad
are those OF men who have closed up busi.
ness ut interior towns remote from the rail.
road, and have come within bearing of the
locomotive In search OF better luck. The
new houses going up are often those of
farmers who have become discouraged by
vain efforts to make living planting cotton,
and have sold out 1t q sacrifice with the idea
OF trying something new in town. The out
